Plan Check Kitchen + Bar has multiple neighborhood restaurants located in Los Angeles, serving modern American comfort food in a small plate format along with unique cocktails, premium whiskeys and craft beers. The Plan Check name and brand stem from the first location, adjacent to the Building and Safety Department, where hundreds of Architects, Developers, Designers and Engineers flock daily to get plans reviewed for permitting. It embodies the architectural/creative lifestyle and the culture that surrounds it, effortlessly blending vintage architectural office elements with industrial pieces, rich materials and a warm atmosphere. Plan Check Kitchen + Bar is also the home of Ketchup Leather™. This innovative square of deliciousness makes the Plan Check signature burger unique--not only does it add great flavor, it also prevents the burger buns from getting soggy! One might never think about ketchup the same way again.

Great burgers are their specialty. Lots of creative additions to these tasty burgers. Good wine and local beer choices. The only complaint is the sides sometimes include cole slaw which was just tasteless dry cabbage on the plate. Otherwise everything was very good.

We had a going away brunch at Plan Check. With the exception of one person's food, the service, timing, and food was excellent. Our server has our table ready right away and made sure to keep our bottomless mimosas coming. One meal was served incorrectly (twice), but they made sure that wasn't included on the bill. Excellent service. Great location. Excellent time. Thank you!

Stellar service from Josias! He recommended excellent wine and beer - was extremely knowledgable about the food and treated us to an amazing churro donut dessert. My only suggestion would be to offer more dessert options - hint: chocolate.

Servers were friendly. Some of the Bacon was inedible, and they dropped some of our food, but replaced both quickly.
